 What is the history of Christ the Redeemer?

The idea of placing a large Christian monument  atop Corcovado peak in Rio dates back to the 1850s, when a local Catholic priest requested funds from Princess Isabel to build one. The princess was not enthusiastic and the plan was scrapped.

In 1921, the Catholic Circle of Rio began to collect signatures and donations for a privately-funded Christian monument.

The statue of Christ the Redeemer was designed by local engineer Heitor da Silva Costa and sculpted from concrete and soapstone by Paul Landowski, a Frenchman. After nine years and a cost of $250,000, the statue opened to the public on October 12, 1931.

STRANGE PARANORMAL CASES


The Sallie House, Atchison, Kansas

Once a doctor’s house, a little girl named Sallie died here during a botched appendectomy and her spirit has been here ever since.  When a family moved in during the ‘90s, this little girl began to create mischief, knocking pictures down, toying with electrical appliances, and leaving a trail of their child’s toys throughout the house.  This activity eventually escalated to a violent level, but while they originally thought it was the little girl that their child had seen, they inevitably learned through a medium that it was actually a middle aged woman responsible for the violence.  All of her malevolence was directed towards the male owner of the house, repeatedly scratching and gouging him, leaving deep red welts and scratching deep enough to cause bleeding and bruising.  After this entity shoved him and almost sent him careening over the railing of the stairs on the second floor, the family finally moved out of fear for his life.  These activities have been documented by several paranormal groups.






Kenmore Plantation, Fredericksburg, Virginia


This beautiful plantation house and its surrounding buildings were built in 1776 by Fielding Lewis. Lewis sank a lot of money into the war effort against Britain during the American fight for independence, and apparently his ghost is still concerned over the state of his finances.  He has often been seen sitting and going over his papers with a sour look on his face, and he has also been heard pacing the first floor hall very heavily.  








PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

WHAT IS A PARANORMAL ACTIVITY?

Paranormal, by definition, are phenomena and manifestations which lie outside of normal experience, and which can neither be scientifically explained nor proved. Despite the lack of support from the scientific community, which cannot disprove paranormal activities either, many people are interested in paranormal stories, and, for instance, like to visit haunted places.


TYPES OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY & HAUNTS

  • Ghost: An image or sound that is comparable to an audio or video recording.  A ghost is simply the residual energy of a person or animal.  There is no intelligence within the energy – it’s a recording that replays over and over.  The energy may diminish in time but can actually recharge itself.
  • Spirit:  A spirit is the soul or a person or animal which has remained in this world after the death of the body. 

  •   Poltergeist: Paranormal activity centered around one individual (usually a pubescent child but can center on adults who are going through a great deal of stress). 
  •       Entities: This paranormal activity is associated with beings that have never been human at any time.  The entities can be good (angels) or evil (demons).  Most people confuse the intentions of a spirit to communicate as a demon.  Entities are very uncommon. 

INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS


Why  we dream that we fall?


When we fall in our dreams it really means we have lost control with some sort of situation in your life. Falling in your dream is a way your unconscious communicates with your conscious to let you know that something needs to be fixed right away. 




Dreaming that teeth are fallen

So much in the dreams as in real life, the teeth symbolize the force, safety, autoesteem and beauty. For it when we dream that they fall it wants to say that something of this fails. One of the most widespread meanings of dreaming of teeth that fall is of being afraid or to feel insecure before a recent change in our life, already be professional, sentimental or another type.




One of other most popular meanings of dreaming of teeth that fall is of presaging a death or  it can be synonymous of the growth and personal development.






Dreaming with the death

To dream with the death can be also a consequence of extreme weariness and physical depletion, which between other effects produces melancholy and disappointment for excesses in the daily life. This dream also is in the habit of happening after having lived with great enthusiasm for false optimism and big hopes, but failed all this; in consequence, the death only there symbolizes pessimism and depression passenger who will give place to new illusions and hopes. To be dreamed in agony hints that the suffering and the effort realized in his life will allow him to enjoy a better life in the future.


MANIPULATED HUMAN

Since we are born, we are manipulated by advertising. It can be observed with subliminal messages and business manipulation that make us make decisions unconsciously by what we see or better said, what they want we to see. As well as trendy shops use resources to become more manipulable and make us consume what they want. The resources more used by these big companies are TV ads in which images and sounds get our attention.
